Forever

Nobody lives forever. Everybody lives forever. You're right either way. -- doug smith

Have you ever thrown anything away and then regretted it? Gone Box i filled a dumpster no i filled a dumpster two times and another dumpster, too i didn't have permission and they weren't my dumpsters but it was always at night and i wanted some things out of my life foolishly books. paintings. collages. tools. and one really big relationship deeper than any box gone a box filled with memories set afire. and no matter how much i dream i cannot retrieve that box. -- douglas brent smith

Reactions to the Face On Mars

Reactions to the Face On Mars -- collage by douglas brent smith. It seemed like a revelation, a sign. Pictures taken of the surface of mars seemed to show a face. Could this mean that there was an intelligent civilization there once upon a time? Many years later, when our cameras produced much higher resolution images we saw that it wasn't really a face at all. It's just something that people do -- we see faces everywhere. We anthropomorphize wildly. Well, the illusion was fun while it lasted. And it lasted long enough to be on my mind when I made this collage in 1993.
